Formal vs. Casual Chandeliers: What's the Difference?

It's hard to imagine a chandelier as being "casual." You probably imagine most chandeliers to be large and ornate, decorated with beautiful crystals and many light bulbs. While these formal chandeliers are still popular, the trend in chandelier styles has changed drastically. Now designers create chandeliers to meet our contemporary needs, and they're still just as stylish!

If you love chandeliers, but feel you don't have the "proper" place to install one, then we have good news for you. Thanks to recent design trends and the fact that many of today's homes are less formal than before, chandeliers can be used in any room of the house. No longer reserved just for the dining room or the foyer. Here are just 5 unique places they can be installed.

A: The bottom of the chandelier, in an eight-foot ceiling, should be at least 30 inches above the table. Make it three inches higher for each additional foot in ceiling height. This allows you to showcase the chandelier, of course, and at this height you can best allow the chandelier to illuminate the room. The taller the ceiling, the larger the light fixture is required. For additional info please refer to our Chandelier Buying Guide.

A: The diameter/width of your dining room chandelier should generally be at least 12 inches smaller than the width of your dining room table. However, you may also want to take into consideration the size of your dining room. If more light is needed, you may want to consider multiple chandeliers rather than the traditional approach of one.

A: Typical chandeliers can range to well over 70 inches in height and can hold more than 20 lights. A natural crystal, much like a diamond, is costly to acquire. Other materials, such as oil rubbed bronze or brass is a high quality metal that will last the test of time but will require more investment because they are solid/organic/natural and there is a methodical construction process with metals.
